The Cancer Centers Program also recognizes that many high quality, cancer-relevant research projects are funded by other organizations such as the Department of Energy (DOE), Department of Defense (DOD), Department of Agriculture (DOA), the Center for Disease Control (CDC), State Health Departments etc. While funding from these organizations should not represent the major component of a cancer center's research base, the Cancer Centers Program wishes to provide all centers the option of carefully defending selected projects of special importance to the center for full access to CCSG resources. With this intent in mind, multi-year projects, which are equivalent in size and scientific complexity to an NIH R01 research project and funded by other organizations not listed specifically above, can be considered for eligibility if approved by peer reviewers as part of the initial review of a competing CCSG application. 

Instructions and application forms for requesting special peer review consideration of selected individual cancer research grants from a source not listed above may be accessed at http://cancer.gov/cancercenters/download/fundorg.pdf. Applications must be submitted at the time of grant submission.
